Troye Sivan - YOUTH (Song)
Troye Sivan is really showing huge promise for an explosive end of 2015. His debut album “Blue Neighbourhood” will be released on December 4, competing (unfortunately) with the big band Coldplay and in the shadow of Adele’s triumphant return. Either way, I still believe Troye will certainly deliver, may …

This song is a great example for all the parents out there. And I like how the lyrics convey a serious issue in a very comical way. A lot of parents don’t believe that the way they act and what they say affects their children. But it really does. …

Cannibal Corpse Butchered At Birth
The Florida Death Metal band Cannibal Corpse’s 1991 follow up to the 1990 classic death metal album Eaten Back To Life ups the ante. This time around the album cover is even more shocking, (by the name of the album you can take a good guess as to what …

So Far So good So What is Megadeth’s third album released in 1988 on Capital Records. The album features a cover of Anarchy In The UK by the Sex Pistols, while it isn’t my favorite as cover songs usually aren’t, it’s cool to see the band’s influences. The album …
Life Is Peachy, 1996 Album by Korn
I like this album a lot. And there are numerous reasons for it. I think that Korn managed to intensify their emotional strength on this album. Their previous album was rather dark, and very aggressive, of course, and it dealt rather well with serious emotional subjects. This album does …

Michelle by Ben Harper
Artist: Ben Harper and The Innocent Criminals
Like a lot of people said reviving Beatles’ song is such a scary thing because not only you need to make a good rendition but also the tendency to ruin an already perfect song.

Beat the Devils Tattoo 2010 Album by Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Even though I am a fan of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, and listened to some of their albums as soon as they were released, which was certainly the case with their 2003 album Take Them On, On Your Own, and their 2005 album Howl, I actually missed the release …

Lupe Fiasco - The Show Goes On
The first time that I ever heard of Lupe Fiasco was in the song “Know My Name” by Blake Lewis. He sounded like a regular rap artist and there’s nothing special about him. But then after this song comes out, I really like this dude. First of all, this …
The Flaming Lips - Halloween On The Barbary Coast (Song)
Halloween On The Barbary Coast is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Hit To Death in the Future Head. Opening up with a collection of somewhat random sounds, a moderate guitar lead soon drives the track until some interesting percussive work also starts to …

Vandoren V12 Lire Clarinet Reeds (Silver Box)
The Vandoren V12 Reeds are a slightly new type of reeds that supposedly last longer, sound better, and are easier to play.

The Beatles: 1 CD

I am really …
The Divine Comedy : Bang Goes the Knighthood

Last Night by Az Yet
Last Night by Az Yet is a very sexy song, but not suitable for the young to listen. How I wish that the lyrics are a bit ‘cleaner’ so I can put it on for my young nieces and nephews to hear.
The song is actually very direct …

The Strokes - Is This It?
Of all the bands to come out of the garage-rock revival of the early 2000s, The Strokes were probably the best — at least in their initial effort. Regarded as the then-newest saviors of rock and roll, The Strokes fashioned distinctly post-modern rock and roll. The dueling guitars, a …
Bob Dylan - Three Angels (Song)
Three Angels is a track by Bob Dylan which appears on New Morning. Like the rest of New Morning, I really don’t find this track anything all that special and it surprises me that it’s by the same artist who wrote albums like Blonde On Blonde, Bringing It All …

Eminem - Im Not Afraid - Single
After a pretty average last album, back came Eminem with a new one, Relapse and the first release, Im Not afraid.
